Charles Barkley played basketball and was pretty darn good at it. Now of days, he's an NBA analyst on TNT.
Well, Barkley says he's an NFL fan, and he has some rather unflattering things to say about the Detroit Lions.
Barkley, speaking on the "Rich Eisen Podcast" on the NFL Network, said this about the Lions:
"The Detroit Lions would be the perfect example of a team that's got a bunch of talent that don't have no clue, any clue, how to play football."
"In the NBA I could go over a bunch of teams like that -- who have a bunch of talent but they are never going to win. But when I watch that Detroit Lions team play, I'm like 'Wow, man they got a lot of talent, but they have no idea how to play football.' And it's frustrating to watch because I'm a fan. I'm a fan. I want to see greatness. Anytime I watch sports I want to see greatness."
We first saw this story in the Detroit Free Press.
